Elisheva Nadal

(Israel)

Gidi Gezer

Elisheva Nadal created several comics for children's magazine Haaretz Shelanu in the 1950's and the early 1960's. Her most significant comic was 'Gidi Gezer', about a teenager that got superpowers by eating carrots. It was written by Yaacov Ashman who let the character battle the British and the Arabs during the Israeli War of Independence in 1948 and the Eqyptian army during the 1956 war.

Nadal was also the illustrator of the 1960 original Hebrew 'Tarzan' story 'Tarzan Vetaalumat Aatom' ('Tarzan and the Atom Mystery') by Pinchas Sadeh, that was also published in book format by Amichy in 1962.
